— ■ The Oregon Voter, which has not
yet announced its support of Gen
Martin, democratic candidate for gov
ernor, but in its editorial comment!
continually leans that way, appears
to believe that communiât Pete Zim
merman may help Joe Dunne, repub
lican candidate, by hfe (Zimmer
man’s) non-primary entrance into the
gubernatorial race.
- .
As there are about twice as many
república» registered in Oregon as
there are democrats, furnishing
a
much larger source of supply of ultra
radical voters, it would seem that
Zimmerman’s
non-primary
entry
would help Martin more than it would
Donne.
Party ties rest so lightly, however,
that anything may happen in Novem
ber, although it is unthinkable that
a Red can be the choice of as enlight
ened a commonwealth as Oregon. :
Following is the way the Voter
reasons as to why Martin may be
defeated:
Wild Pete Zimmerman is such a
frothy ranting radical that he is not
likely to win enough support to elect
him governor. Yet he may be a real
factor in the result. For, with Port
land Journal shouting day by day that
its candidate, Gen. Martin, favors
most of the radical policies espoused
by Zimmerman and formerly espoused
by Mahoney, it fe conceivable that
conservative republicans will run to
Dunne in November even as so many
of them ran to him in May.
With
only Dunne against Gen.
Martin,
Martin would have a chance to win
tens of thousands of conservative re
publican vote*. With Wild Pete dally
on the front page of the Oregonian
and Gen. Martin on the front page of
the Journal, both as champions of
public ownership and various other
New Deal extravagancies, and with
News-Telegram giving its vigorous
support to Dunne and the Oregonian
defending him, Dunne may be recog
nized as the one place for conserva
tives to go if they want to be sure of
beating Wild Pete.
Zimmerman’s radicalism will be
confirmed to conservatives not only by
his own harangues but by the support
he will receive. Ho will not only be
supported by Sam Brown, Ray Gill,
Mort Tomkins, Doe Slaughter and th*
rank and Ale of the Grange but by the
radicals among Organised Labor and
by the rank and filo of members of
the Socialist and Communist parties.

Evidence of the return of prosperity
is to be seen in the fact that the rail*
of the Southern Pacific track« through
Coquille are far more shiny than they
were a year or more ago. At that
time they were streaks of ruiX"
Until recently it has been the prac
tice of the publk to make a highway
of that part of the Southern Pacific’s
\ real estate that lies
immediately
north of the atetion building. Now,
in the way that leads off from the
Coast highway, a barrier has been
set up by the railroad company con
sisting of a series of »o’ts made from
steel rails. The moat valiant truck
driver will now hesitate before try
ing to smash his way through these
posts. Recently a truck driver came
near running over Agent Frank Pook
when he stepped from the north door
of the station on to the company’s
property. On top of that the driver
of the truck gave him a bawling out
for getting in his way. Coquille is
not yet ready to lose this accommo
dating and officiant official. It ia not
intended to infer that the barrier was
put up for Mr. Book’s personal safety,
but it may nevertheless be helpful
along that line. Coquille will be will
ing to lose Pook only when its loss
will be his gain through promotion to
greater responsibility for the company
he has served for so many years.
An automobile moving at a speed of
80 milea an hour covers a distance of
88 feet in a second. Thu* it becomes
a potential projectile of death weigh-

thousand pounds. A man would not
ba permitted to walk along a highway
with several sticks of dynamite in
his pocket, no matter how expert he
might bo in the careful Handling of
that explosive. As a matter of fact
it is less dangerous to the public than
the automobile travelling at an ex
cessive speed. The record shows that
excessive speed is the chief cause of
automobile fatalities, but their num
ber continues to increase in spite of
all regulatory laws. It may yet be
pecessary for government to go into
the automobile factories and place a
limit on speed within the mechanism
itself. The trouble ish’t due to every
one being really in a hurry. It’s the
sport of the thing.

Outside of the Bible, says William
Lyons ~
Phelps, the words, “To be or
not to be” are the six most famous
words in all of the literature of the
world. Elucidating upon the thought
of Mr. Phelps an editorial writer in
Portland Oregonian says: ‘Tn these
words are the mystery, the beauty,
the tragedy and the yearning of life
and death. They cannot but ring
